The Golden Sheep, Vol. 3 by Kaori Ozaki
4.0
This third volume proves how well Kaori Ozaki did with the character arcs throughout the series. The changes we see are believable and you find yourself rooting for this group of friends after all.
Volume 3 opens with an update on Asari. It also fills in some missing backstory for her character.
I enjoyed watching Sora and Yuushin begrudgingly repair their friendship.
Tsugu was the catalyst for this change, but at this point it feels like she became a background character in the overall drama. While I expected this entire story to center on Tsugu this shift felt right.
I like its message about the importance of speaking up for yourself.
In the end these characters didn't necessarily choose the destructive paths they got stuck in, but they couldn't get out of them on their own either.
In Conclusion
This story is well worth your time.
Definitely read all three volumes of The Golden Sheep at once.
While its a very different plot than The Gods Lie, another of Kaori Ozaki's manga, I'm certain you'll enjoy this story if you enjoyed that one.
There are some similar themes. Most notably that The Golden Sheep and The Gods Lie both deal with strained parent / child relationships. The short story at the end of volume 3 of The Golden Sheep is a particularly sad one on this topic.
This was a NetGalley Review!
